G#m                      B        C#5
   So many people gonna say that they want you
G#m                            B           C#5
   To try to get you thinking they really care
G#m                               B           C#5
   But there's nothing like the warmth of the one
            B          C#5           D#m    
   Who has put in the time and you know he's gonna be there
G#m                            B        C#5
   Back your border when she knows someone crossed it
G#m                           B        C#5
   Don't let nobody put you down who you're with
G#m                      B        C#5
   Take the pain of protecting your name
              B          C#5               D#m
   From the crutch to the cane to the highwire

[Chorus]:
        E                    B
I'm in love with a girl who knows me better
D#m                        G#m
Fell for the woman just when I met her
E                        B
Took my sweet time when I was bitter
D#m             G#m
Someone understands
             E                  B
Cause she knows how to treat a fella right
D#m                    G#m
Give me that feeling every night
E                       B
Wants to make love when I wanna fight
D#m                     G#m
Now someone understand me
        E           B      D#m        G#m
I'm in love with a girl... I'm in love with
         E          B      D#m        G#m
I'm in love with a girl... I'm in love with

Intro 1x

Out the many broken back doors and windows
Through the valley of the love of the lost
Is a hole that is cut to the soles
Falling down from the thrones
Without needing any windows
But you found inner peace for the moment
The moment was over in time
Then it's gone
The hit and run
The victor's fun has a short life

[Chorus]
E                       D#m
Wanna tell you what you do to make you
G#m                 C#5
Practice what you preach
       E             D#m              G#m        C#5
Now I know there's nothing we can't reach
           E
Cause a heart can't erase
D#m
Once it finds a place
G#m                 C#5
To be warm and welcome
E               D#m
To be held in shelter

[Chorus]
